locking down access

Reply Quote

Hi,

I have a requirement to use the control on a publically facing area, and need to lock down everything but the minumum editing ability. A couple of questions:

1. How do I disable keyboard shortcuts, like CTRL V? I notice doing that with Firefox gives 'pasting' as text in the editor.

2. On Safari PC (haven't tested mac) - even if you set onpaste as pure text, it allows formatted text to be pasted in (checked with your example on your site)

Finally, what other settings would you recommend making to make the control as secure and least likely to be misused as possible?

Many thanks

Alan

Dear alanjames,

The first two issues:

We are investigating the first two issues and will get back to u later.

The third issue:

what other settings would you recommend making to make the control as secure and least likely to be misused as possible?
1.You can define the usable buttons group, and disable some unused buttons, the example can be found at http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx

http://cutesoft.net/example/MinimalConfiguration.aspx

2.When you load template, you can define the uneditable area, please refer to http://cutesoft.net/example/templates.aspx

3.If necessary, you can set editor to readonly mode, http://cutesoft.net/example/readonly.aspx

4.You can pre-define set of permissions by group or individual, the example can be found at

http://cutesoft.net/example/implementSecuritypolicy.aspx

More detail can be found at http://cutesoft.net/developer+guide/index.html

Regards,

Eric

You can disable the paste function of Cute Editor by setting EditorOnPaste event to disabled.

thanks for the tips, ideally I would still like CTRL V to work for plain text pasting in all browsers, so will be keen to see how to do it.

Out of interest, is there a list of keyboard shortcuts for the control anywhere, just so I can see what does what?

Many thanks

Alan

Hi,

Sorry this solution doesn't work - just tried with your example on the site, copied some formatted text, then CTRL V with 'disabled' set, and it still allowed it to be pasted. If I can't sort out the stripping of format on keyboard shortcut, and the 'pasting' text coming in through firefox, I'll still need to disable the keyboard shortcuts.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Alan

Are you sure CTRL+V works when EditorOnPaste is set to disabled?

If so, which browser are you using?

Firefox 3.6. Tried it with your example onpaste. Get a JS error box come up with Error, cmdname not defined, then it pastes it in anyway..

Happens in Chrome too. OK in IE/Safari

Hi,

Agree the 'diasbled' functionality now works perfectly - thanks for that. However my ideal solution is that I can get CTRL-V to only allow pure text (i.e. no formatting) to be pasted in.

At the moment, FF brings in formatting, as does Safari. Any chance we can get the same functionality of 'paste text- that happens in IE, working on the other browsers? This is my ideal scenario, and I'm sure others would find that useful too.

cheers

Alan

Hi,

We're getting there, FF now behaves, but still getting the ability to paste Word formatted text in through Safari on PC (4).

Once this is fixed, it will be perfect.

Thanks
